With the countdown underway to Arirang’s March 20 release, BTS have unveiled the 14-song track list for their anticipated comeback album.

“Swim” will serve as the title track and the anthemic “Into the Sun” will close out the album, the band announced on Tuesday. The tracks were produced and written by some of the biggest names in music, including Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, Diplo, El Guincho, JPEGMAFIA, and Ryan Tedder, among others.

The project stands to serve as a culmination of the journeys V, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Jimin, and J-Hope have taken so far in their 13-year run, which has seen them embark on solo projects. In reuniting for their first album since 2020, the members had a very “hands-on approach” in the creation of the album, with RM having a hand in every track except for the interlude.

The band noted that SUGA and J-Hope are credited on multiple tracks, including “Body to Body,” “Merry Go Round,” and “Normal.” Jimin was involved in the creation of “they don’t know ’bout us” and “Into the Sun”; V worked on “2.0” and “Into the Sun”; and Jung Kook helped create four songs, including “Hooligan.”

The album title derives from a traditional Korean folk song, “Arirang,” with the band landing on the name for its strong resonance with their current journey. “The new release explores universal emotions of longing and love and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures,” BTS explained in a previous statement.

BTS will mark their comeback with a massive world tour, kicking off in Goyang, South Korea on April 9. They’ll arrive in Tampa, Florida in late April before wrapping up the U.S. leg of their tour in September in California. Those who didn’t manage to score a concert ticket, or simply can’t wait to see BTS back in action, can catch a screening of BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ Live Viewing, which will show in theaters this April.

1. “Body to Body”

David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen to Reunite… for a TED Talk

More than a decade after Van Halen‘s last performance and six years after the death of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, the band’s David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen are reuniting … improbably for a TED Talk. The event, part of TEDxFargo, will be moderated by painter Robert Vargas at Fargo, North Dakota’s fittingly named Brewhalla on Thursday. Originally, the event was to feature only Vargas and Van Halen, but Roth seems to have been made available after canceling a run of tour dates. The last time the two were in public together was 2015.

Tickets are available for those who want to attend it live (Vargas notes, however, the event will be “remote live, with the three of us in the same room”), but don’t feel like you’re missing out. “The filming is taking place this week and will be posted on YouTube/TedxFargo platforms in a few weeks for the public to view for all time,” the official announcement on Instagram promises.

Tom Morello Previews New Solo Album With 'Anti-Fascist' Rock Song 'Date Night'

Tom Morello will release a new album, Everyone Gets Everything They Want, on Sept. 25 via Mom + Pop Music. It features production by Tyler Smyth, Carl Restivo, Zakk Cervini, Dan Carey, and Sam Nelson Harris, and guest appearances from Serj Tankian, Kneecap, and Beartooth, as well as Morello’s son Roman Morello.

The musician previewed the LP with song “Date Night,” which recounts the true story of three young Dutch girls who served as spies, saboteurs, and assassins against the Nazis during World War II. The young women acted as underground assassins, seducing Nazi officers, luring them into the woods and killing them.

Bernie Taupin Has Been Writing for Elton John for Six Decades. He’s Finally Releasing a New Solo Album

Without Bernie Taupin‘s lyrics, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, The Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water, Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy, and virtually the entire rest of the Elton John catalog would not exist. That’s why Elton literally handed him his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame statue when he was inducted in 1994, and personally welcomed him into the institution in 2023.

But throughout much of this time, the lyricist has also maintained a solo career that’s flown so far under the radar that many Elton John fans are unaware that Taupin’s own work even exists. And it hasn’t, in any meaningful way, since he disbanded his group Farm Dogs in 1998. His last solo album was 1987’s Tribe. Over the last couple of decades, he’s focused largely on his family, and his work with Elton John.

Ariana Grande Sues Hackers Over Alleged Theft of Unreleased Music, Photos, and Video Footage

After years of frustration over leaked music, Ariana Grande is taking the issue to court.

According to Billboard, the Grammy-winning artist filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles court Monday and claimed that anonymous hackers stole unreleased music, photos, and video footage that are “part of her personal and professional creative process and that are not intended for public consumption.” She alleged they targeted her photographers and producers to gain access to the materials, then sold it “on the dark web” for large sums of money.

Case Against D4vd, Singer Accused of Murdering Teen, Will Proceed to Trial

A Los Angeles judge ruled Monday that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the musician D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, to stand trial for the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez when she was 14 years old.

“It appears to me, for the purposes of preliminary hearing, the people have met their burden of proof on all charges,” Judge Charlaine Olmedo ruled. “I order that Mr. Burke be held to answer.” Burke’s re-arraignment has been set for August 31st.
